Hi all im kinda new to coding … cant see whats wrong in my code :
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine ("name") ; String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine ("pastTenseVerb"); String really = console.readLine ("really") ;
console.printf ("%s name really pastTenseVerb ",name ,pastTenseVerb);
- the page keep printing :
please make sure you follow the format
name really pastTenseVerb
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine ("name") ;
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine ("pastTenseVerb");
String really = console.readLine ("really") ;
console.printf ("%s name really pastTenseVerb ",name ,pastTenseVerb);

So you seem to understand how to use the %s syntax but you just haven't formulated the string properly. You will want to use the %s in place of the "name" and "pastTenseVerb" areas like so:
"%s really %s this coding exercise."
